DEDICATION
As we toil once more on the publication of the UTICANITE, we are reminded of one who
was a sincere worker, untiring at every task, brimming with confidence and capability, enthusi-
astic and sincere in the preparation of the subjects she taught and in her assignment as Spon-
sor of the 1968 UTICANITE. She used her full potential to be creative and to stimulate the
students with whom she came in contact. She played well the part she was to play in whatever
role she assumed.
Although she is no longer on the scene of action, her qualities of Seriousness, Usefulness,
Capability, Courteousness, Elegance, Skillfulness, and Studiousness will make her forever live
in the hearts and minds of those who knew her.
We commemoratively dedicate the 1969 UTICANITE to the memory of Mrs. Grace J. Hackett
whose remembrance will help us continue to climb the STAIRWAY TO SUCCESS.

Students and Friends,
The Annual Staff has selected the theme,
this year's annual.
'Stairway to Success", for
During the past twelve years the institution has attempted to climb
these stairs step by step. This climb has entailed designing new pro-
grams geared to the particular backgrounds of the students the
institution serves, enriching the curricula so that students may identify
with the subject matter, and employing teacher personnel who are
committed to the philosophy of the Junior College and Agricultural
High School, which is teaching and learning.
This stair climbing has entailed the planning and building of a new/
campus. Four new buildings: academic -administration; student union;
cafeteria; and vocational-technical center, have just been completed,
with the complete plan to include a new library, fine arts building, and
perhaps a limited number of dormitories. The vocational-technical
center will enable students to go directly into employment, thereby
contributing to the skilled manpower pool for the State and Nation.
Utica Junior College is rapidly developing into a strong institution with
a special sensitivity and a concern for the culturally different back-
grounds of the students it serves.
The members of the Annual Staff have done an excellent job in reflecting
the "success climb" at Utica Junior College and I congratulate them for
Sincerely yours,
Walte r Washington

EDITOR'S MESSAGE
We, the Annual Staff, acknowledge the suc-
cess of another ensemble of numerous events,
varied accomplishments, and treasured memo-
ries compiled in this, THE 1969 UTICANITE. It
is not success that we selfishly claim; for, the
student body, administration, faculty, and staff
co-operated fully. To them our most hearty
thanks.
We hope that THE 1969 UTICANITE will
serve as a memoir as you climb your "Stairway
to Success."
Melvin Kent
